Vintage Souvenir Glasses

During their heyday--the 1940s through the '60s--state glasses like these were sold at souvenir shops across the nation. "That era was the dawn of turnpikes, when families began driving around the country on vacations," says Dean Six, executive director of the Museum of American Glass in West Virginia. "The glasses told the story of where you'd been."

Today, these cups still get our motors running with fun graphics (like Idaho's "King Spud") and low prices--typically $3 to $10 apiece on eBay. Examples with exceptionally detailed art go for up to $15, and early-'40s frosted- and milk-glass models from makers Hazel Atlas or Federal Glass can sell for $20.
